I would like to open people’s minds a little bit. There’s so many people that just listen to classical music and think that pop music is of some lesser nature. Also the indie kids who think classical music is just something their grandparents listen to. And I want to be somewhere in between, maybe open people’s minds a little bit; cause in the end, it’s all just music. So, when I play a show, I see people of all ages, from all corners of the musical world. I see classical people, indie kids, hardcore kids, metalheads, and they all come there for the same thing, and this is what I live for, really.
